It’s a South African thing

07/08/2025

It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year with my stunning .

Over the past 12 months, I’ve had the privilege of driving this elegant SUV for just over 14,782 kilometres, spending 369 hours behind the wheel and averaging an efficient 6.9L/100km.

More than just a vehicle, it became a true companion—enduring a lot, serving as the backdrop to countless podcasts and Microsoft Teams meetings, and transporting my family in comfort and safety.

The back seat withstood the daily energy of a three-year-old, while the sound system played Let It Go more times than I can count. From everyday errands to family adventures, the GLC’s 4MATIC system ensured we arrived safely and confidently, no matter the road conditions.

The 2.0l diesel motor is a gem! Frugal, powerful and more than enough when needed. 145kW and 440Nm plus a 48Volt mild-hybrid system.

Parting with it wasn’t easy. I genuinely hope its new owner treats it with the care it deserves—premium polish and only the finest microfibre cloths, please.

Here’s to an outstanding SUV that truly became part of the family. I’ve already welcomed a new three-pointed star to the driveway… this one even has a sidestep.

This year has not been easy. It has had its low points however it has had some very high points. Instagram will only let me do 10 pictures, I probably have over 100 to share.

Some 2024 highlights: Taking the new C63 SE to Simola along with the GT63 SE and coming home with 3 trophies! Chad, Clint and the team, thank you!

From a work point of view we introduced 10 new vehicles into the market. To my media colleagues I want to thank you for your hard work, dedication and passion which makes it so much fun to do this job! The awards won are testament to the exceptional vehicles that we have.

To my crazy work family! Damn… what a year. It was tough but we proved that we are indeed tougher. I am beyond blessed to be part of a team that is so cohesive, supportive and encouraging.

Now to my family, the ones I do all of this for! Thank you! Thanks for having my back in the tough times and for sharing the wins! The late nights, early mornings and many days away are not easy but we did it.

2025 is going to be good. It’s going to be tough but 2024 taught me that I got this. It’s hammer time!

I can’t believe that it has been a year with this stunning of mine.

I’ve had the privilege of piloting this elegant machine for just over 15000 kilometres. Spent 418 hours in it over the last 12 months and consumed an average of 8.9l/100km.

This car has been my companion, it’s endured my singing, listened to many a podcast and I’ve done a countless number of Teams meetings in it. It’s transported my family in comfort and kept them safe.

The back seat survived a 2 year old. It had yogurt spilled on it, stickers stuck to the rear of the seats (I think some are still there). It became part of the family.

Today I said bye to it. I’m sad about it. I hope the new owner keeps it clean and uses the best polishes and microfibre cloths only (please).

Cheers to this locally made sedan that is truly sublime. It is time to get a new three pointed star bearing car on the driveway… I wonder what it should be….

So I started the week with the local launch of the latest E Performance. A hot topic on the lips of the automotive community. Fact of the matter is this - the car is a technical masterpiece. It is the sum of all of its parts, not just one.

Every element contributes to an unrivalled driving experience and performance. It will recalibrate your mind the faster and harder you drive it.

We were so lucky to get to experience this machine on some of the best roads available to us. One in particular was extremely quite for some reason😉. The opportunity to fully dive into what this car has to offer was undoubtedly taken. Perceptions were changed and others reaffirmed.

Then, at the turn of a dial it calms down, the electric motor takes over and you have a quiet, relaxing car that gets you through the sleepy towns of the Western Cape without any drama. It’s comfortable, composed and unmistakably Mercedes.

They say only milk comes in 2 litres but I’ve seen Vodka come in two litres as well. You must change your perspective now and then😎

2023 has been a wild ride. I was given an opportunity to get behind the wheel of my future and I’m not getting out of the drivers seat! In July I joined the most incredible automotive company, as the PR and Media Manager. A dream, a goal a direction I’ve long dreamed about.

It’s been crazy but I have an amazing team around me. We’ve done so much and achieved greatness. I’ve grown so much. I’ve done things that I never knew I could do. I’m so absolutely grateful and 2024 is going to be next level.

I however couldn’t have done it without the support from my number 1, the boss lady . We’ve had to adjust to a fast paced, busy and demanding schedule but she’s been by my side, riding sh***un throughout it all.

A befitting hashtag to this post is undoubtedly

I’ve been quiet this month. Not because I’m not doing anything but because I’m doing so much!

I wouldn’t mind going back to a sunny Western Cape to get behind the wheel of this here again.

This is such a great car!

Guys, if a position in government opens up for a minister of chaos then I highly suggest that after the they must go get one of these, the all-new . I spent a few days with it and there is much to tell you. It is big, comfy and this new 3.0-litre turbo diesel is a gem.
